My experience would suggest that dwarves told to "stay indoors" will interpret the command as "stay underground," which pretty much sucks if you've built a surface fortress. -EarthquakeDamage 02:27, 10 November 2007 (EST)

You are correct according to my experience. "Stay indoors" is interpreted as "stay underground/in the subterranean". So in this sense whether a tile is considered "indoors" is not based on whether it is outdoors or indoors. It is actually based on whether the tile is above ground or subterranean. In my opinion this is a glitch in the game and may cause some gray hairs when designing fortress defense. Siege operators, for example, could be rendered useless if one made the wrong assumption about how tiles are considered "indoors". --Flaa 10:40, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
